"It has been stressful, but I'm amazed at the generosity of people in our Salt Lake City Airport community. Delta airlines has given us some food in our break rooms so we don't have to pay for lunches. The call outs are affecting the morale of the team, but many, including myself, put extra time so that the airport is still safe.
"How I look at it is that I made an oath to my country to defend and protect the Constitution and the traveling public so no matter the cost I will full fill my duty. I ask that people be kind and sensitive during this time."
— Transportation security officer at TSA, Salt Lake City, Utah area
"I'm hopeful, and I will continue to come to work as I and many of my fellow coworkers have been. Spirits from the passengers and workers in the airport have been great. Most passengers expressed their gratitude to us for continuing to work during this fiasco."
— Nicole Johnson, transportation security officer at TSA, Americus, Georgia
